I don't envy anyone who has to see Best Coast, though.

I'm not too familiar with Best Coast but seeing them at Lollapalooza 2011 during the storm was one of the best live moments I've ever experienced. Snagged a B&S ticket since it's on the day I'll be driving down for SDCC anyway

Re: Upcoming Shows

Thanks so much for the Yo La Tengo ticket, cormaic! I had a great time. They played two sets: an acoustic set to open the night (there was no opening band) and an electric set. All told I think they played for about 2 and a half hours. The acoustic set was gorgeous and really put the lyrics at the forefront. I've listened to YLT for a while but I was still impressed with how personal and delicate the lyrics are, especially on the new stuff on Fade. The electric set was badass. Several long jams that were noisy and aggressive and you could tell they were having a blast on stage. One thing I really liked is that they played Ohm, the first track off Fade, in both sets, so it was a neat point of comparison between the two.

Re: Upcoming Shows

HoB still charges a service fee at the window for all shows. Either $2, $3, or $5 depending on the price of the ticket. The $25 flylo ticket would still be $30 at the box office.

Yep fuckin Live Nation. Irving Plaza charges $5 for "service charges" even if you buy tickets at their box office. It used to be free...

SOLID SOUND FESTIVAL CHANNELS WILLY WONKA IN MAST BROTHERS/SOLID SOUND CHOCOLATE BAR AND GOLDEN TICKET CONTEST
Easthampton, MA - May 9, 2013 - Anyone who has ever attended the Solid Sound Festival knows the parallels to Willy Wonka's famed mythical chocolate factory are easy to draw. The Wilco-created three-day festival takes place June 21-23 at the playfully exotic MASS MoCA, a large-scale contemporary art museum in North Adams, MA. Over three days and nights, alongside a full and varied program of live music and comedy, festival-goers can stargaze with a noted astronomer, learn to restore an axe (the Paul Bunyan kind) and learn about birds of prey firsthand. Fittingly, the festival has now teamed with Brooklyn small-batch chocolate makers Mast Brothers to present a limited-run Solid Sound Festival chocolate bar, complete with a golden ticket prize contest.
The Mast Brothers/Solid Sound limited edition chocolate bar is Sea Salt-flavored, created by the award-winning Mast Brothers, and wrapped in custom Solid Sound paper. Only 3,500 bars were made, and they are available now through select retailers throughout the U.S. (listed below) and exclusively online at the Solid Sound Festival website, solidsoundfestival.com. Five of the 3,500 bars contain a golden ticket wrapped inside, and lucky golden ticket recipients will each receive two free three-day Solid Sound Festival passes and a chance to pick a song live onstage for Wilco to perform during the band's all-request set on the festival's opening night.
"Music has always been an essential part of our chocolate making culture, so when Wilco approached us to collaborate, it was a no brainer. We are all huge fans and have a mutual respect for each other's craft," said Mast Brothers founder Michael Mast.
Mast Brothers chocolate bars are made completely from scratch. Everything from the roasting and grinding of the cacao beans to the design of the beautiful paper that wraps each bar is done in-house at Mast Brothers' factory in Brooklyn, NY.
Solid Sound Festival is a three-day celebration of music, art, comedy and more, and it takes place June 21-23 at Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art in North Adams, MA. It features two nights of Wilco, including Wilco's first-ever all-requests-including-covers concert on Friday. Additional musical performers include Neko Case, Medeski, Martin & Wood, Yo La Tengo, Low, Foxygen, The Relatives, Os Mutantes and more. There is also a full program of comedy selected by John Hodgman featuring Reggie Watts, Al Madrigal and Jen Kirkman plus a wide array of all-ages programming, a live performance of the acclaimed public radio show Radiolab, an environmental documentary film festival and much more.
Three-day festival passes and single day tickets are available at the festival's official website, solidsoundfestival.com. Three-day tickets are $149. Single-day tickets for Friday, June 21 and Sunday, June 23 are $65. Single-day tickets for Saturday are sold out. Three-day passes for children ages 7-10 are $50 and children 6 and under are free.
Solidsoundfestival.com also features information on camping, area lodging, direct Peter Pan bus transportation to and from the festival and more.
